What you say about California may be true but this case was all New Jersey.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/511ea6836bb3f7c24300004fpeabody3000Fri, 15 Feb 2013 16:20:03 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/511ea6836bb3f7c24300004f

Ridiculous!! She should have got the maximum ( or more). What do we tell our kids? This basically says it is OK to drink and drive, and kill! Hollywood always get special treatment! even in NJ. Pathetic judge.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/511da65269bedd7b6300000bRichThu, 14 Feb 2013 22:06:58 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/511da65269bedd7b6300000b
she'll not be getting Bovenized any time soonhttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/511d9d6069beddfb52000007JonathanThu, 14 Feb 2013 21:28:48 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/511d9d6069beddfb52000007
Correction, Americans are obsessed with justice, not punishment. Murdering someone while driving very intoxicated deserves justice, namely you give up many years of your life for committing such an act. Why are you obsessed with letting murderers get away with killing with no consequences?
At least 2/3 of the two million people in American prisons are neither there for justice nor punishment reasons, but rather they're political prisoners of the war on drugs. You should become educated about something before you attempt to speak on it.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/511d9b7869bedd0a4b00001aJonathanThu, 14 Feb 2013 21:20:40 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/511d9b7869bedd0a4b00001a
She'll serve a year tops. What an evil justice system.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/511d860deab8ea9d7f000009crusader70Thu, 14 Feb 2013 19:49:17 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/511d860deab8ea9d7f000009
And three years doesn't sound like a "slap on the wrist" to me. Why are Americans so obsessed with "punishment"? The country already imprisons more of its citizens than any other in the world, including China.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/511d82c9eab8eaae73000029citizen1Thu, 14 Feb 2013 19:35:21 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/511d82c9eab8eaae73000029
Not to defend her, or the decision, but this was one of the weirdest drunk driving death cases I've read about.
At the time of the fatal collision, Locane was trying to escape a rabid road raging woman who was chasing her, after a more minor fender-bender collision Locane had with the woman. It could be said that if that woman had been reasonable in that circumstance, instead of flipping out crazy, Locane would have stayed stopped and been arrested for driving drunk at that point.
There's no question Locane was driving drunk, but how she had so much to be so clearly over the limit, the route she took, the first collision, being chased in a road rage, the driver who left-turned in front of Locane and got hit and his wife died, were all points that were argued out. Strange case.
(Note, I never saw any episode of Melrose Place, and I do not remember ever seeing her in a full movie or TV show. I remember, vaguely, only TV promos for those and her name.)http://www.businessinsider.com/c/511d81e069bedd2f16000008JonathanThu, 14 Feb 2013 19:31:28 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/511d81e069bedd2f16000008
@nerdbert read the article moron, the sentencing took place in New Jersey and this person is far from a "B" list actress.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/511d8161ecad04a52a000024Tradeking13Thu, 14 Feb 2013 19:29:21 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/511d8161ecad04a52a000024
Not to mention she's a D-list celebrity.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/511d7564eab8ea7f5a000018Jon SnowThu, 14 Feb 2013 18:38:12 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/511d7564eab8ea7f5a000018
What does California have to do with this story? She killed a woman in New Jersey, was arrested in New Jersey, and now sentenced in New Jersey.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/511d731b6bb3f7e903000007nerdbertThu, 14 Feb 2013 18:28:27 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/511d731b6bb3f7e903000007
Gotta love our "justice" system when the wealthy and well connected get away with a slap on the wrist when a nobody would get 3x the punishment. California may be "progressive" in some ways, but it's got an aristocracy it worships.
